Each antibody in the Cas9 and Associated Proteins Antibody Sampler Kit recognizes transfected levels of its target protein. Antibodies are specific for the indicated endonuclease target and cross-reactivity with other endonucleases is not observed.

CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins) are RNA-guided nuclease effectors that are utilized for precise genome editing in mammalian systems (1). Class 2 CRISPR systems rely on single-component effector proteins to mediate DNA interference (2). Several Class 2 CRISPR effector proteins, derived from specific bacterial species, are used for genome editing. Cas9 family of proteins, derived from S. pyogenes and S. aureus, are some of the most well characterized and widely used editing effector enzymes. Additional members of the Class2 CRISPR system include Cpf1 (CRISPR from Prevotella and Francisella) endonucleases (3). Cpf1 endonucleases, compared to Cas9 systems, have several unique features that increase the utility of CRISPR-based genome editing techniques: 1) Cpf1-mediated cleavage relies on a single and short CRISPR RNA (crRNA) without the requirement of a trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA), 2) Cpf1 utilizes T-Rich protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequences rather than a G-Rich PAM, and 3) Cpf1 generates a staggered, rather than a blunt-ended, DNA double-stranded break (3). These features broaden the utility of using CRISPR-Cas systems for specific gene regulation and therapeutic applications. Several Cpf1 bacterial orthologs, e.g. Francisella novicida U112 and Acidaminococcus sp. BV3L6, have been characterized for CRISPR-mediated mammalian genome editing (3, 4).
